Making space for aggressive drivers on the highway

The Aurora Driver begins to make a lane change but then makes room for another vehicle that starts a last-minute, aggressive lane change into the same space.

On approach to Houston on I-45, the Aurora Driver decides to lane change to the left and turns on its turn signal. As it begins the lane change, another vehicle starts a last-minute, aggressive lane change into the same space. The Aurora Driver immediately recognizes this contested situation and very naturally pauses its full lane change, allowing the other vehicle to pass by, and then safely completes the original lane change plan. The other driver then proceeds to cut across multiple lanes of traffic.
